Sofia, Bulgaria"Impressive and Well Preserved!"
Καθεδρικός Αγίας Κυριακής!
The St . Nedelia (Holy Sunday) Cathedral is one of the most visited tourist sites in Sofia and is located in the heart of the city, popular with weddings.
While entering I had a feeling of peace. As for photos taken inside the cathedral, well there is a fee of 5 Leva (€2.50).
The church was built in the place where ancient Serdica's central square once was.
It is domed in a central plan style, with Neo-Byzantine construction characteristics.
The 11-bell tower, the gilded and wood-carved iconostasis with two tiers of icons, and the richly decorated walls evoke owe and admiration. The relics of saints and bishops bring here thousands of believers to worship.
Most impressive are the wood-carved iconostasis and the icons, painted by Nikola Dospevski in the traditions of the Samokov School of Woodcarving.
It is located opposite Sheraton Hotel.
